“People of color are the new majority in California,” the organizers said in a Twitter statement. “And throughout the nation, people are looking to California to be a leader in equitable climate and environmental policies that benefit low-income communities of color who have been hit hardest by the impacts of climate change.”

The groups hoped that the hashtag would foster a conversation on equitable environmental policy and legislation for this sesson.
